Why are they all dying?

[40g Nano]

I don't know why my fish are dying. I have a 40g cube mixed reef, no new additions, and that is fine. In a different 40g, 2 damsels, dead in a week. Same for a 14g qt with first a dead algae blenny then a dead yellow tang. I think it is just my lfs(2) of them.

What is a good place i can buy online for healthy, qt fish?

Im not gonna drop over $200 on a harem of clownfish and have them all die.

How long did you have those fish before they died?

Yea not good my friend I have a harem myself and i would be crushed if they died

 

[40g Nano]

i cant view your video, maybe pics?

I’m pretty sure it is just the fish since inverts in the tanks are fine

What is your acclimation process?

Were they eating when in your care?

 

[40g Nano]

Acclimation is 2 hours, and every 15min a half cup of water.
I match pH and SG

The yellow tang was eating algae off the egg crate in qt, the blenny wasn’t , the damsel was

So that also means I need a new algae eater!!!!!
Should I try another tang?
Any other ideas?
I can’t seem to find snails

If you've had multiple fish die within a week after being added to the tank, while inverts in the tank are fine, its disease. This pattern is pretty clear.

I would say figure out why fish are dying before buying more. Buying more may lead to more dead fish.

I’m not thinking of buying more until after Christmas
The disease came from their tanks, so should I go fallow or what?

 

[neo1738]

But you don't even know what disease it was. Def large water change and give weeks before new fish in case.

As long as your water has zero ammonia, I agree, maybe parasite. Two much death, too fast.
Yup, would consider fallow.
